Topic: Festool Domino 500 (Read 1301 times)

Hi, I have a Domino 500 and when using it for the second time yesterday I put in the 8mm bit and was using it with the 50mm dominos. When I did the first cut I checked the depth and found it was only 20mm deep, even though I had set it for 25mm. I then set it at 28mm and tried again and found it still was only 20mm deep. I then checked the depth by pushing the bit out and found it stopped at 20mm and would not go any further. Is this a problem with manufacture or is there a simple way to reset the depth correctly?? Awaiting any help Thanks Kim from Australia.

Does it only do it on this bit, do you have the same problem with any other sized bit. Otherwise check the plunge on the domino and check nothing is fouling inside the stop, otherwise it wont plunge to full depth. Maybe remove the front guide and give it a clean out just in case.
